ICU Takeaways

Key Takeaways from Waiting Outside The ICU For A Loved One To Wake Up:

• #2.
  Absorb and exude the energy around. It is not negativity but hope that the relatives carry with them.

• #3.
  Keep talking to your ICU-bound loved one even when you think they can't hear you. Vibes travel. Send out positive vibes.

• #4.
  Be the first in the queue during visiting hours. Just like you want to look at the monitors to be assured that a heart is beating, that sedated heart waits to hear your hi.

• #5.
  When stressed, paint/ write/ work from the hospital- if you are constructive, the universe will honour your commitment to making a difference in other's lives.

• #6.
  Tell the person how much they mean to you. They are critical but there is always that slight chance they'll hear you and come back.

• #7.
  And if that doesn't work, give the sick person an ultimatum- a time frame. Often, when sedated, intubated, etc, your person doesn't have a watch and they lose count of time. Tell them. The day. The date and the time you need them to recover by. It motivates them to plan their recovery.

• #8.
  This is point #1 too. Pray to whoever you believe in. And trust your prayers will be answered.

You might think it’s easier said than done. But I saw the magic of prayers, positive thinking and continuing to do my karma, no matter what. And I saw the miracle of God's love... It's so wonderful... Oh! wonderful love.
